Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 22 Escape

Back at the pond, everyone filled their stomachs first, and then came the most anticipated part.

There are eight pheasants, six rabbits, a roe deer, and a wild goat.

There are so many harvests in just one morning, and everyone in Dawang Village can't believe it.

It's a pity that they are all dead. The weather is hot and there is not enough salt to marinate them. They will go bad after two days at most.

However, there are more than 20 people in this size, and it can be eaten in two days.

It was agreed earlier that all the fur of the prey would belong to the Xu family, and Wang ordered the big guys to clean out the skin and meat separately, so that they could be distributed later.

Everyone has no objection, this is really fair, don't worry about your own bones, and his family's less fat.

However, there is a severe drought at the foot of the mountain, and there is no rain in the mountain, and the animals are also short of food, so these prey are not fat.

Especially the wild goat, the ribs on its body can be seen, it can survive until now, thanks to its good hiding,

But it was still found by Wang's keen eyes.

The few rabbits and the roe were taken care of by Wang alone. Unlike other people's rough skinning, she specially borrowed his precious butcher knife from Wang Dahai.

Wang did not disembowel the rabbit and deer, but cut off the head, cut off the limbs, and peeled off the whole skin from the head.

"Young lady, bring the rope." Mrs. Wang called to her grass nest.

Xu Yue heard A Niang's call, and hurriedly pushed Xu Dalang back who was lying down and was about to get up, and carried the braided bark strips over.

Xu Erniang also followed curiously.

"Aniang, what are you going to do?" Xu Yue handed over the rope, and simply squatted beside Wang to watch her work.

Mrs. Wang took the rope and pulled it first, feeling that the strength was good, then replied without raising her head:

"Make skin water sacs."

After all, he picked up the piece of deer skin, turned it over, peeled off the fascia, stuffed it back into its original shape, and finally tied the openings of the limbs with a rope, leaving only the larger hole in the head, and a water bag was formed.

After filling the water, tie the opening tightly, put the water bag in the back basket, and no water will overflow.

It's just that the leather has not been specially treated and is not very hygienic.

But with the current conditions, what kind of bicycle do you want? It would be nice to have something to drink.

"Try it." Mrs. Wang handed the roe deer water pouch to Xu Yue and the sisters.

Xu Yue asked Xu Erniang: "Sister, is this okay?"

Xu Erniang was carrying a leather bag that was about the size of a backpack, and said uncertainly, "I'll try it first, you guys go on, I'll go to the side and try it."

The leather water bladder of the old man's house is made of cowhide. The cowhide is very magical, but I don't know about the deer's.

But it's all skin, so it should be fine.

Xu Erniang took the deer skin water bag to the back of her grass nest, asked Xu Da to help keep an eye on outsiders, and tried to enchant the water bag.

It did it right the first time!
Xu Erniang didn't dare to be happy too early, so she ran to the water's edge to fill the water, and after confirming that the roe deer skin could withstand the magic and wouldn't disperse as quickly as bamboo, she hurriedly nodded to Xu Yue's side.

Xu Yue and Wang looked at each other, and the mother and daughter were overjoyed. One roe deer skin water bladder was worth five or six small cowhide water bladders. With just one click, the goal of water storage was achieved.

Mrs. Wang simply cleaned up the remaining rabbit skins and took them back to the shed to dry. If there is a chance, she can sell them for some food.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the meat was cleaned out, because the hunting teams had about the same effort, and everyone got a big piece of meat.

For a while, the open space was filled with the craving meaty smell.

However, seeing that the big guys have a way to survive, more and more refugees are coming up the mountain because of the extreme lack of water...

Waking up early in the morning, Mrs. Wang saw a few figures on the other side of the pond, fetching water furtively, and then ran away after finishing.

But this is only because there are fewer people on the other side.

At noon, when Xu Yue's family was making lunch, a group of more than 20 people suddenly jumped out of the forest and rushed to the pond desperately.

Looking at it, I have been thirsty for a long time. When I saw water, I plunged my head into it. I drank until my stomach exploded before I got up.

This sudden turn of events shocked Xu Yue's family and the villagers of Dawang Village immediately to get together and raised their weapons.

It's just that there were quite a few people on the other side, and they were not afraid, so they lay down on the other side of the open space.

A few of them were so hungry that they ignored the gleaming kitchen knives in the hands of Dawang Villagers and jumped straight at the boiling pot on the fire.

With a "Zi", the clay pot burned their hands, and those people didn't care about it, and poured the boiled food into their mouths, screaming in pain, they took the pot and rushed to the pond, taking a bite Cold water sips the boiling broth.

Seeing that almost crazy appearance, Qiu Shi didn't dare to move in a daze.

It was her family's pot, and the pot was full of pheasant meat. She wanted to cook it softer so that the child could eat it, but she didn't think about it, and made it into a wedding dress for others.

Qiu's flesh hurts endlessly.

But fortunately, there was no fierce fighting. Each family protected their own pot and had no time to take care of others.

The little bit of cohesion that Wang had managed to build up the day before was instantly beaten back to its original shape.

Wang Shi looked in the direction the group came from, and exchanged glances with Xu Da, both of them felt a strong sense of crisis at the same time.

Mrs. Wang drove the three children behind her to the grass nest, and ordered in a low voice, "Pack up your luggage."

Although Xu Yue was a little confused, she still nodded and followed suit, folded all the unfolded quilts, and used ropes to pack them into a marching bag according to the method taught by Wang before.

Xu Da silently extinguished the fire, poured out the soup in the pot, and quickly finished the soup one by one.

The rest of the meat is taken out separately and wrapped in leaves, and placed in a basket together with the taro in a goatskin bag, and finally pressed into a deer skin water bag.

Just as Wang was about to take the hot clay pot to the side of the water to let it cool and put it in the basket together, a scream came from not far away.

She looked up and saw a bloody man rolling down the hillside.

Behind this person is a refugee army with a red scarf on his head, holding a big knife in his hand, like a deadly ghost!

The whole of Changyi is short of water. The villagers don't know about this pond in the mountains, but the hunters who have been in the mountains all the year round know it all too well.

Seeing that the companions in Changyi had just seized the city, but they were about to die of thirst without enjoying the blessings, the leader immediately ordered that the whole county search for water sources, and not let go of any place with water!

A group of red scarf soldiers rushed out from the woods, and they were very pleasantly surprised when they saw the pond like a pearl. They did not expect to find such a good place when they followed the victims up the mountain.

"Xu Da, Erniang and Youniang, run!"

With a low cry, Wang immediately dropped the clay pot in her hand, rushed behind Xu Da in two steps, helped him lift the heavy pannier, rushed to the shack, picked up Xu Erniang with one hand, and threw the marching bag on her back with the other.

Turn around and run to the other side of the pond!

When Xu Dalang saw it, he grabbed Xu Yue who was carrying a bedding bag, put it in his arms, and quickly followed.

Xu Da followed with a sickle and a kitchen knife. Unfortunately, a first-class militiaman rushed over from his side with a knife. Xu Da cursed unlucky, and immediately flew over with a kitchen knife and slashed at the man's face to knock him over. After evading the danger, Run wildly.

While running, he shouted: "Mr. Wang, you motherfucker, wait for me!"

But at this time, most people in the open space hadn't reacted yet, their necks felt cold, and before they even had time to panic, they died under the sharp knife of the refugee army!
